Take Stock of Our Life – (1087)

Our Life’s Direction and Activities

The following two paragraphs spoken by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov and transcribed are worth reading regarding taking stock of our life.



“It is good to pause periodically to take stock of one’s life. Why? Because too often, the lives people lead, day in, day out, become heavy and dark, because they amass more and more concerns and activities of all kinds that offer nothing to their soul and spirit. Affected by the atmosphere around them, people forget that they are on earth only for a short time and will have to leave behind all their material acquisitions, their titles and their social positions.

You will say that everyone knows that they are on earth for a short time. Yes, everyone knows, but often they forget. And, even disciples of an initiatic school are swayed: they become less vigilant and allow themselves to become obsessed by the wealth and success they see around them. So it is essential for them to pause from time to time and to look back, to look at where they are going now and what activities they are getting involved in, and to sort through them every so often to make sure they only keep what is essential.”

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov


Conclusion

The essential, the essential. Our life can be filled with too many time and energy consuming activities that are not productive for our Being and the work towards him.

End (1087).

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
